Yes, there have been four Mass Shootings laura, in the time that congress has been on break. They left july 26th, had gilroy two days later, el paso was a week after that, dayton was the following day, midland, odessa last weekend. So 53 americans have died in Mass Shootings during congress cation. Today the House Judiciary Committee will return early to talk about a new assault weapons ban and further restrictions on magazines. These are things that can easily pass that democratic committee, but they also got to get past the senate. Remember Mitch Mcconnell has blocked previous bills though he says he will allow a universal background check bill if hes sure a majority of the senate would vote yes. I should point out to be totally accurate, this 53 is accurate up until today. Congress does not meet until next monday.
